Steve I Always Knew - Mark Eitzel

You can boil the night down into a thin white line

Ringing doorbells and waiting next to a payphone

Which I means, I guess, that we’re gonna sleep together

And like the morning we disappear

The sunrise is a rainbow made out of grey blood veins

You said in my life I was too lucky

So, tell me, am I supposed to feel guilty or something

When you’re just another glow in the dark skeleton talking

Steve, I always knew you wanted me

But you know I had too much to lose

You said the only way through fear is to give in

And you were right, you were right, you were right

You were right, you were right, you were right

Fear ain’t much more than nothing

You put all your cash up the noses of the boys at the Leland Hotel

You said if you don’t live now there’s no chance for later

I guess in bed I was kind of a sweet nothing

For your money you could have done much better

Steve, I always knew you wanted me

But you know I had too much to lose

You said the only way through fear is to give in

And you were right, you were right, you were right

You were right, you were right, you were right

Fear ain’t much more than nothing

You were right, you were right, you were right

You were right, you were right, you were right

But then I caught your eyes and you know, you were nothing

You moved to New York to clean up and came back married to a cop

When I saw you on the street I could tell you didn’t want to stop

You said those who haven’t seen the death of love don’t know what to believe in

And far too early you saw life had no meaning

You were far too young to think that was the truth

You were far too young to live with the truth

Steve, I always knew you wanted me

Oh, but you know I had too much to lose

You said the only way through fear is to give in

You were right, you were right, you were right

You were right, you were right, you were right

Fear ain’t much more than nothing

You were right, you were right, you were right

You were right, you were right, you were right

But then I caught your eyes and you know, you were nothing

You were nothing, you were nothing, you were nothing
